Vegan Green Pea Soup

By MarielC

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1 bag of frozen peas
• 2 cups of vegetable broth, plus more if needed
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Parsley leaves, for garnish
• Cayenne pepper or Peperita (as pictured), optional

Preparation

Step 1

4 servings

In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until tender, about 7-10 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add peas and vegetable broth, and cook until broth just begins to simmer.

Working in batches, carefully transfer the soup to a blender, cover, and blend until pureed. Add a little more broth to the blender if needed. Return the pureed soup into a clean pot. Continue until all the soup is pureed.

Heat pureed soup over medium heat until it bubbles and is heated throughout, stirring frequently. Thin out with more broth if needed. Season with salt and pepper.

Divide between bowls and garnish with parsley and cayenne (optional).
